Roi and the Secret People

For those who may have missed the memo on Facebook… we’re not in Nashville this weekend. In fact, we’re back home, where this all started in Bethlehem, PA.

This is where Musikfest — the nation’s largest free outdoor music festival — is currently taking place. Back in the day — like, a year ago, even — we’d be all over this thing. All day. Every day. For 10 days every August, nobody played harder in the paint than us. Don’t even @ me, bruh. But if you do @ me, do it with style!

Granted, 800+ miles worth of distance has made doing that a little bit harder this year. But, when in Rome, we will do as the Romans used to do. Or, something like that.

That includes mapping out where you need to be today, if you’re in the same vicinity as us and want to hear some brilliant artists for the price of Free.99. Also, because it’s good to be back, we’re going to focus this solely on artists from the region we call home, to give you just a taste of the Keystone State’s best.

Black Book Magazine in New York City called Roi and the Secret People’s Mike Roi one of the eight greatest up-and-coming artists “who create vibrant, unconventional music in spite of living outside the center of the cool New York.” With his magnetic stage presence, angelic voice, and deft lyrics, he has proven there is no genre he cannot master — from Southern and hard rock, to indie and folk.

Indie rock veterans Roi and the Secret People are known throughout the northeast for putting on a live show with an energy that few can match. Taking its cues from frontman Mike Roi, the band’s dedication to putting on a true performance captivates audiences who come into RSP’s sphere, every time out.
